Brian Vickers, Deputy Base Civil Engineer and project manager for the Expeditionary 3D Concrete Printer. \u201cThe Air Force Civil Engineer enterprise has been largely focused on base maintenance and sustainment for over a decade, and our ability to rapidly construct and repair austere airfields and infrastructure on a large scale will likely be strained in future conflicts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Traditional construction methods, while proven and reliable, can require significant manpower, time, and materials, as well as extensive skills \u2013 factors that can contribute to longer build times, increased costs, and added logistical complexity. In contrast, the Expeditionary 3D Concrete Printer streamlines construction with minimal manpower \u2013 just three Airmen \u2013 and uses one of the world\u2019s most available materials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy building with concrete, occupants of these buildings are far more protected from blasts, fragmentation, and small-arms fire,\u201d said Vickers. The ability to print curved walls, which offer superior blast resistance, coupled with concrete\u2019s natural thermal properties, better enhances both survivability and <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/energy\" target=\"_blank\">energy<\/a> efficiency. In an effort to improve blast resistance even further, the 175th CES team and p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\">art<\/a>ners from the Massachusetts National Guard and National Security Innovation Network (NSIN) are exploring the development of optimized, 3D concrete printed wall designs, which they then plan to subject to controlled-blast testing to validate.<\/p>\n<p>The 175th CES team obtained Squadron Innovation Funds to initially test the printer\u2019s feasibility. Through the AFWERX Refinery, the team also secured additional stakeholders and resources to expedite testing and potential adoption. Early trials proved successful but highlighted the need for ruggedization and portability. Alongside industry p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\">art<\/a>ner X-Hab 3D, the team modified the commercial model \u2013 reinforcing components, automating processes, and simplifying controls \u2013 to make it field-ready and combat-capable.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eaeaea7a;padding: 15px 30px;align-items: center;border-radius: 4px;box-shadow: -1px 4px 20px 0px #dedede;margin-top: 1em;margin-bottom: 1em\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1;padding-right: 30px\">\n<h4 style=\"margin-bottom: 14px\">Manufacturing on Demand<\/h4>\n<div>Have design to produce?

This marked the 175th CES as the first operational Air Force unit with a 3D concrete printer. Wasting no time, they sprang into action and completed their first independent on-base print only the following month \u2013 proving not just the system\u2019s viability, but that the project team is more than ready for the task.<\/p>\n<p>Among notable milestones thus far has been a public demonstration at the National Mall, showcasing the technology\u2019s potential to an audience of Congressional stakeholders. Another came when Tech. Sgt. Joshua Frost attempted to destroy the first print with a sledgehammer 18 hours after printing \u2013 and failed. \u201cThe concrete was so hard; far stronger than typical concrete, a tremendous nod to the potential uses of this technology,\u201d said Vickers.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, collaboration with the US Army Corps of Engineers will seek to ensure additive manufacturing codes are updated to reflect advancements like the 3D concrete printer, aligning <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/military\" target=\"_blank\">military<\/a> standards to the future of building and design. The team is also looking to conduct soil-to-concrete research using native soils to understand how to possibly mitigate material sourcing challenges in different <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/environment\" target=\"_blank\">environment<\/a>s and in strategic <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/military\" target=\"_blank\">military<\/a> locations.<\/p>\n<p>As for the next build project, the 175th CES plans to print a full-sized structure to house the piece of equipment. If successful, the structure has the potential to be \u201ca model for a concrete replacement of the SSS Tent that has been a DoD standard for several decades,\u201d said Vickers. \u201cOur team was trained to use the 3D Concrete Printer in just four days \u2013 a remarkably fast timeline for such a revolutionary technology. If adopted, this capability could extend beyond RED HORSE (Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operational Repair Squadron of Engineers) units to PRIME BEEF (Prime Base Engineer Emergency Force) units, significantly expanding the Air Force Civil Engineer enterprise\u2019s construction and repair capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scaling the technology will require investment, training, and integration, but the benefits are undeniable. \u201cImpactful innovations require impactful organizational change,\u201d said Vickers.<\/p>\n<p>Poised to revolutionize expeditionary construction, the Expeditionary 3D Concrete Printer offers the Air Force a faster, safer, and more resilient approach to infrastructure \u2013 reinforcing combat power through enhanced survivability and rapid response. The technology has the ability to enable Airmen to meet more highly complex mission demands and build what they need, when and where they need it.<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"font-size: 16px;border-left: 4px solid #cdcdcd;border-radius: 4px;background-color: #f9f9f9;font-weight: 500;color: dimgrey\">\n<h5 style=\"margin-bottom: 6px\">You might also like:<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voxelmatters.com\/simpliforge-creations-produces-highest-on-site-3d-printed-structure\/\" target=\"_blank\">Simpliforge Creations produces highest on-site 3D printed structure: <\/a>The effort was led by Prof. K.V.L.
